Nina Torres had a solemn expression, her eyes filled with what she clearly thought was wisdom.

Mia Carter thought Nina had finally caught onto her suspicions.

Instead, Nina said, “If we don’t have to pay for Carly’s medical bills anymore, take my advice-use the leftover money to get your brain checked at the hospital.”

Mia looked away, refusing to speak. She didn’t want to let Nina’s “wise” gaze irritate her any further.

Nina realized her brain must have short-circuited while driving, missing Mia’s point entirely.

Tell me, just tell me…”

She nagged Mia the whole way home, but Mia didn’t breathe a word.

At this stage, everything was just a suspicion.

Aunt May was a complicated person. She was sharp-tongued and had an unpleasant personality, but she had worked herself to the bone for the orphanage over the years. She had sacrificed so much.

f Mia had misinterpreted the situation, she would end up hurting someone who had given everything.

3y evening, Mia still hadn’t received a reply from Cole Preston.

Jnable to wait any longer, she sent him a message on WhatsApp.

Cole replied quickly: [I just got back to Northbrook and don’t have many local connections. Ethan has agreed to help. You can contact him directly.]

Mia’s mind went blank.

Aside from the matter of her job transfer, she and Ethan hadn’t been in contact at all lately. Since they were no onger a boss and secretary who saw each other every day, their relationship felt much more distant.

Calling him directly to ask about this felt incredibly awkward.

Still, Mia steeled herself and dialed his number.

The phone rang until it was almost about to disconnect before he finally picked up.

udging by his voice, Ethan was busy. “Speak.”

Mr. Hale, I’m calling about Carly. Dr. Preston said you agreed to help.”

Mia’s voice was soft.

‘Leo found some information. Come to the office tomorrow morning to pick it up.”

Ethan’s voice was flat, carrying the cold indifference of an outsider.

He was a man who handled multi-billion dollar deals; using his resources to investigate a small-scale scam was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Was he annoyed?

Mia certainly sensed a hint of irritation in his tone.

Thank you for the trouble.”

Mia ended the call with that polite remark.

Her voice lingered in the quiet night, and it echoed in Ethan’s ears even after the line went dead.

As the screen of his phone dimmed, Ethan’s sharp features were reflected in the glass.

His narrow eyes narrowed slightly. He set the phone down and looked at the group of executives staring at each other in the conference room.

‘Continue the meeting,” he muttered.

The oppressive atmosphere in the conference room returned to normal as the PR manager resumed the report.

This meeting was supposed to happen in the afternoon, but Ethan hadn’t been in the right headspace and had >ushed it back until now. Just when he had finally regained his focus, one phone call had made him lose it all over
